Designing AC Condenser Coils for the Real World

Has The NEWS ever considered doing a story on why condenser coils get dirty quickly? I’ve been in the HVACR business for over 40 years now and never understood why manufacturers of condenser coils for commercial a/c units can never build a coil that is made for planet Earth and not for outer space.

Condenser coil fin spacing should be made just like they did on the older refrigeration units — anywhere between 8-12 fins per inch.

Any more than this and servicemen have to lug either the power washer on roofs or lift the heavy, bulky tanks of CO2 just to clean these coils, only to hope that they will stay clean for the rest of the summer, with dirt and cottonwood only making things worse.

When manufacturers are asked, they always say “They’re cheaper to make them this way,” never considering the serviceman out in the real world.

I hope this will get the attention of engineers to start making their coils higher, wider, or thicker and consider the serviceman out there, instead of only the engineering side.

To say it simply, “If you can’t see through the coils when they are clean, they shouldn’t be built”!

A cleaner Air Conditioning Coil gives you better cooling, better air flow, better heat transfer, lower compressor pressures, and lower electric bill.

PreVent Light Commercial Air Cooled

A 10 ton air conditioning system can cool better and save about $618 per season with cleaner coil.

Millions of dollars and thousands of man hours are spent annually on HVACR system or sensitive equipment downtime, repair and maintenance. Failure to provide effective air intake protection to building or equipment fans, motors, heat exchangers and other process cooling systems adds up to a costly loss of productivity in safe and efficient system operations.

Permatron’s PreVent Equipment Protection Filters are made of permanent, washable polypropylene. A primary prefiltration defense, they help prevent the damage and extensive maintenance that large volumes of debris can cause. Custom sized to fit any air intake, PreVent is UV protected and stands up to extreme outdoor or indoor exposure, corrosive environments, high velocity air flow, as well as industrial cleaning and maintenance handling. Our simple solution to air intake filtration helps reduce operational and maintenance costs over a long useful life.

Dirty Coils Reduce Heat Transfer and Increase Electricity Consumption.

Twice as much air must passes through the outdoor condenser coil.

Heat from inside the building plus the heat from the compressor must be transfered / released from the outdoor air conditioner.

Average Outdoor Air Flow through the AC Condenser Coil is 800 CFM / Ton AC

Average Indoor Air Flow through the AC Evaporator Coil is 400 CFM / Ton AC

Moisture in the system and Freon R22 Chlorodifluoromethane CHCLF2 break down under high temperature & pressure to form HCL Hydrochloric Acid (strong acid) and HF Hydrofluoric Acid.
